Awarded upon completion of all three certificates in the Mastering the Sacred Art of Facilitation program

Mastering the Sacred Art of Facilitation is an 18-month professional development program that prepares practitioners to facilitate with cultural integrity, somatic intelligence, and relational accountability across Tribal, organizational, and community settings. Grounded in a Two-Row Medicine approach, the program braids Indigenous wisdom traditions with the International Association of Facilitators (IAF) competency framework, polyvagal theory, neurochemical awareness, and trauma-responsive facilitation methods.

The program is structured as three sequential six-month certificate courses, each representing a distinct stage of facilitator development. Certificates may be earned individually (each stands as a meaningful credential on its own) or completed in sequence to earn the full Master Indigenous Facilitator Certification.

Certificate I: Apprentice Facilitator: The Sacred ContainerWho am I as a facilitator, and how do I hold safe space? Participants build their facilitator identity, create culturally and psychologically safe containers, and complete their first facilitated session. Graduates are prepared to co-facilitate under mentorship. This certificate also serves as a required core course toward the Indigenous Healing-Centered Practitioner Certification.

Certificate II: Advanced Facilitator: The Healing Fire

How do I facilitate healing in complex, real-world contexts? Participants deepen their capacity to facilitate in contexts marked by historical trauma, lateral violence, and systemic harm. Graduates are prepared to facilitate independently across diverse Tribal, organizational, and community settings.

Certificate III: Master Facilitator: Walking Forward / The Fire Keeper How do I grow other facilitators and transform systems? Participants develop the capacities for mentorship, curriculum design, and systems-level leadership. Graduates are qualified to train, mentor, and supervise other facilitators and to lead organizational transformation using healing-centered Indigenous approaches.

Upon completion of all three certificates, practitioners receive the Master Indigenous Facilitator Certification, signifying mastery in Indigenous healing-centered facilitation and the sacred responsibility of growing the next generation of healing-centered facilitators.

This certification also creates a streamlined pathway to the Indigenous Healing-Centered Practitioner Certification. See the Dual Certification Pathway for more information.

Practitioners who are pursuing both the Master Indigenous Facilitator Certification and the Indigenous Healing-Centered Practitioner Certification will find a significant overlap built into both pathways. Certificate I of the facilitator program fulfills the core facilitation requirement for the Regulation Practitioner Certification, and Certificates II and III each count as electives toward it.

This means that a practitioner who completes all three facilitator certificates, then adds the TISI Certificate, the Compassion Fatigue Certificate, and just one additional elective, will earn both the Master Facilitator Certification and the Indigenous Healing-Centered Regulation Practitioner Certification — a total of six courses across both pathways.

This dual pathway honors what we know to be true: that masterful facilitation and deep healing knowledge are not separate capacities. Practitioners who carry both are uniquely positioned to serve their communities at the level of depth this work requires.

Awarded upon completion of the Rematriation Practices for Healing from Addiction four-day immersive certificate training and the Train-the-Trainer Day

Rematriation Practices for Healing from Addiction is a five-day immersive certificate journey that reclaims addiction recovery as a sacred, communal, and ceremonially grounded act of rematriation; a return to land, ceremony, the sacred feminine, kinship, and the body's original instructions for healing. Rooted in a Two-Row Medicine approach that centers Indigenous women's wisdom traditions alongside western neuroscience and polyvagal theory, this program prepares practitioners to understand and support healing from addiction in ways that honor the actual roots of the wound.

For practitioners called to carry this curriculum into their own Nations and communities, the optional Train-the-Trainer Day (Day 6) provides the relational and cultural preparation needed to do so with integrity, humility, and facilitator competency. The passing of knowledge in Indigenous traditions is a sacred act, the teacher transmits relationship, responsibility, and readiness, not a recipe. The Train-the-Trainer Day honors this truth.

Practitioners who complete all five days of the certificate training plus the Train-the-Trainer Day receive the Certified Rematriation Practices Facilitator designation, along with a complete Facilitator Manual set, a Code of Ethics card, a Facilitator Competency Wheel, a Sustainability Plan, and entry into an ongoing community of practice and mentorship relationship with Juniper & Pine Consulting, LLC.

The five-day certificate training also counts as an elective toward the Indigenous Healing-Centered Regulation Practitioner Certification.

This training is available in-person only, in recognition of the depth of grief, ceremony, and relational healing the work requires.
